T0 all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, MONTGOMERY WAD- DELL, a subject ain, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain ments in Paper Barrels; and Vll dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inventionQsuch as will enable others l'skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use. the same.'

The invention contemplates an improvedconstruction of` a paper or pulp barrel or keg with the object of *adapting it to better advantage lfor use as liquids.v

lt consists primarily. in providing the usual cylindrical body portion with out.- wardly flared endsl forming conical seats upon which heads with conical edge'walls may be tightly fitted andvsecured'by metal head-hoops or. .bands which encircle the Hared ends of the body bent or crimped down lagainst the seated heads. l The invention further consists in providing a perforated strengthening parti.- tion midway of the barrel, which partition, in addition to strengthening the body of the barrel, 'acts as a balile to prevent the whle contents of the barrel from being projected against one 4head and its holding hoop or band when the barrel'is handled. ln the drawing, Figure 1, represents a longitudinal section of av barrel embodying the several features of this invention; Fig.

2, represents a transverse section of thel same taken through one of the compartments; and Fig. 3, represents a detail in section illustrating the manner in which the rings are applied.

y The body of the barrel consists of a cylinder A which may be built up of layers of paper or pulp upon a suitable mandrel. Before the cylinder A is dried or otherwise rendered hard and permanently shaped, rings B of the form shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing are placed upon it, and its ends are then flared outwardly, forming conical seats for the heads C, which have correspending rings lB are conical to fit the outer surfaces of the flared v ends and when applied as of the King of Great Brit-A body cylinder.

new and usefullv lmprove-- barrel in the a container for v portion 'and are 1 conical peripheral walls. The' shown at the bottom ofthe barrel in the drawing, extend beyond the ends of the After the heads C vhave been seatedfi the conically flared cylinder. ends of ,thel projecting-parts of the rings B are pressed, formed, or crimped over the ends and against the heads holding them securely in place as shown at -the top of the drawing. llfhis construction admits of a tight fit even though there may" be a variation in the size of the heads, or.

of the cylinder, as the ring can be crimped tightly dwn against the head whether it has a shallow or' a deep fit in its conical seat, the'angevg providing suili'cient material for this purpose, Furthermore, the

- construction has the advantage that should the heads shrink or otherwise tend to loosen,

they may readily be tightened by forcing them still farther down upon their conical seats, and correspondingly crimping the rings down farther upon them. rll`he heads are prevented from rising from their seats by the rings crimped against them which in turnare prevented from coming 0H the ends o f the barrel by their engagements with the outer conical surfaces of the flared ends vof the cylinder. v

- llt is desirable to prevent 'the projection of the entire contents of the barrel against one head, as would occur when, for instance,

the'I filled barrel is thrown upon end uponv the ground from la truck, and lt therefore prefer to protect the heads and their holdy ing hoops by placing a perforated partition D'midway-withinjthe barrel. rlFhis prevents 'Ill' the contained liquid from moving too quickly from end to end of the barrel, and also strengthens the central portion of the cylinder A. l'place this partition D in the cylinderwhile,the latter is still soft or moist and roll in beads e from the soft wall of the cylinder to hold it in place. ln order to further insure the stability of the partition, protecting metal hoop F, having grooves f of a configuration conforming to that of the beads e.

Having thus described my invention, what ll claim is: l

l. it paper barrel, comprising a body portion having outwardly flared ends, heads having conical edge walls seated in said outwal-diy flared ends, the edges of said flared ,p tion having outwardly ends extending lbeyond the heads, and metal hoops littedto .the outer conicalsurfaces of said outwardly ared ends and vbent over inwardly into pressure contact with said heads; substantially as described.

2. A paper barrel,`comprising a body p0rflared ends, heads having conical edge walls seated in said outwardly flared ends, the edges ofsaid flared endsextending beyond the heads, and metal hoops fitted to the outer-conical surfaces 'of said outwardly iared ends and bent over.

inwardly into pressure contact -with said heads, said hoops being provided with an inner rim iiange whereby should'the heads tend to loosen, they. maybe readily tightened by correspondingly deepening the inward bend of thev hoops; substantially as de- '-scribed.
